Religious Education and Collective Worship

Children throughout the school are taught Religious Education, based on the Worcestershire Syllabus for R.E. During their time at the school, the children cover aspects of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism and Hinduism.

Collective Worship

Children attend a daily act of Collective Worship which is broadly Christian in nature. These are currently organised as follows:

Monday – Collective Worship led by the Mrs Roberts or Mrs Davies

Tuesday – Collective Worship led by a member of the church community / a visitor

Wednesday – Singing Worship led by Mrs Brown

Thursday - Collective Worship led by Miss Bussey

Friday - Celebration Worship led by the Mrs Roberts or Mrs Davies

Parents are invited to join us for Celebration Worship during which children have the opportunity to share the work they have being doing in class during the week. Selected children also receive certificates for their contribution to our school.

On the first Monday of each month the whole school meets at 8.50am at St. Mary’s Church in Elmley Castle to take part in Collective Worship. Parents are very welcome to stay and share this quiet time with us.

Parents are reminded that they have the right to withdraw their children from all or part of the Religious Education and Collective Worship provided. Under such circumstances, the school ensures that children are fully supervised and engaged in purposeful activities.
